Adoption from China video scrapbooks

I admit it. I’m hooked on YouTube. I love watching all the great (and not so great videos). Tonight I found some wonderful video scrapbooks about different people’s journeys on adopting children from China. As I watched, it brought tears to my eyes. These are truly beautiful and lucky children. They are lucky to have such wonderful and loving parents. I hope you enjoy these videos as much as I did.
VHS to DVD job foils terrorist plot
May 11, 2007 by Kim · Leave a Comment
Wow! I’ve converted some old VHS tapes to DVD. But I’ve never run across anything like this. Last year, a group of men brought a store clerk a VHS tape that they wanted on DVD. When the store clerk saw that the VHS contained video of the men firing assault weapons and chanting “God is great!” in Arabic, he alerted authorities. The FBI kept a close eye on these individuals and recently charged them with plotting a terrorist attack on Fort Dix.
